Most people have their furnace and air ducts cleaned on a regular basis, but did you know that by having them cleaned you save money on your energy bills?  Let me explain how.

• By cleaning the air ducts you increase the amount of air-flow though out the air duct system which helps increase the efficiency of the heating system by getting the warm air to the areas of the house quicker and with less effort.
• Also by cleaning the air ducts you help prevent dust and debris from entering the furnace preventing it from getting clogged up.
• By cleaning the heating elements of the furnace such as the burners, jets, heat exchanger and combustion chamber you remove the debris and "gas scale build-up" this helps the furnace run more efficiently and helps prevent break-downs.
• Cleaning the blower and fan compartment getting the dust and debris off the fan blades you again increase the efficiency and prevent the blower motor from burning out.
• If you have central air conditioning you will have the evaporator coils cleaned.  They are located just above the furnace and by removing the dust and debris you will increase the efficiency and save money on the electricity bills while running the A/C.

So there you have it.  By having your furnace and air ducts cleaned every two years you will save lots of money on your gas and electric bills.  In fact, having your furnace and air ducts cleaned every two years actually pays for itself just on the energy savings.  Of course there are other benefits to having your furnace and air ducts cleaned such as preventing system breakdowns and costly repair bills, as well as cleaner air in the home and peace of mind knowing that you have less chance of system failure or worse a carbon monoxide leak.
